Kalonzo's Subtext

At yesterday's Eldoret rally hosted by William Ruto and Uhuru Kenyatta, two of the Ocampo4, Hon. Kalonzo Musyoka, Kenya's Vice President, declared that he was ready to abandon his ambition to be Kenya's next President, in favour of Uhuru or [and?] Ruto.

That's what he said, just four days after the ICC at The Hague had confirmed the charges against U and R for crimes against humanity following Kenya's controversial Presidential elections of December 2007. He had never said anything of the kind before.

That was the text; but was it real, or plainly 'Memorex' of Kalonzo's true nature? Was (wasn't) there a subtext, which any educated Kenyan could read? There was. It was this: I know (hope, O.K?) that U and R will not be Presidential candidates any time soon, thanks to one Ocampo. Remember me, then, when the time comes, as the one who stood by them when --as was not lost on them even -- all was truly lost, as far as the eye could see. As the one who was here today, and who would inherit your votes.
